Title: question about weapon design Post by: smokesalot on July 12, 2011, 04:56:35 AM ok i made a weapon with 1 space, 1 energy, 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 att, and 99% ACU installed 1 in ship veiwed the ship and the attack for the ship is listed as 138.350.580.552.821.760. i then added 249 more of the weapon to the ship and veiwed the ship guess what the ship attack was shown to be? 138.350.580.552.821.760
i then made 8 copies of the weapon design and installed them so ship has 250x weapon 1, 250x weapon 2, 250x weapon 3, 250x weapon 4, 250x weapon 5, 250x weapon 6, 250x weapon 7, 250x weapon 8 and 250x weapon 9( 2250 total weapons) guess what ship attack is when i veiwed ship 138.350.580.552.821.760 can someone explain why attack is the same for the ship if its got 1 weaspon, or 250 weapons or 2250 weapons? is it because the cost of the weapons 9.223.372.036.854.775.808? so more than 1 weapon does nothing to ships power since ship cost is maxed at 9.223.372.036.854.775.808? im very confused by this and cant seem to find any info on designing parts for a max ship.

Were both the possible damage as the possible reduction are maxed. So that is why adding more weapons does nothing, because you reached both max. Try having only 1 tot 10 of these weapons on your ship, without having any additional weapons on your ships and you should get higher damage.

To be clear each run of a weapon does not count as a weapon. If you have 250 runs of the same weapon you get full damage for each run of it.Title: Re: question about weapon design Post by: Comatose on July 25, 2011, 11:25:46 PM No, the more runs, it still lowers the damage.

Incorrect try making a ship with 250 runs of the same weapon. The damage is exactly what you would calculate without accounting for a damage reduction.Title: Re: question about weapon design Post by: Comatose on July 27, 2011, 09:30:23 PM Ken, I've maxed before. Maxed ships are different if that's true. The most damage you can get with 250 runs is like 300q. Drop it to 7 runs you get 7q, and it caps at 8 I think.

Max ships do have things like that happen to them which is why two different things are happening. |
